Duncan Fletcher (Will Friedle) is an average teenager in search of a date to his school's spring dance. At the mall with his friends, he meets a girl named Hallie (Elisabeth Harnois), who happens to be the daughter of the President of the United States, George Richmond (Dabney Coleman). Duncan, not realizing this, asks her to his school's dance. She accepts and gives him her address and he replies by telling her he will pick her up at 7:00.
That night, Duncan's father (Jay Thomas) declines his request to borrow the company car, a red BMW 525i. Duncan takes the company car anyway and goes to Hallie's to pick her up, only to end up at the White House. He does not realize she is the president's daughter, and at first believes Hallie was playing a joke on him. When he enters, Hallie has Duncan meet her father, and Duncan is informed that there are limitations on where they can and cannot go, and that the Secret Service will be with them the entire time. Though Hallie says that she and Duncan are only going to dinner and a movie, she and Duncan sneak away from the Secret Service at the movie theater after sharing a kiss. They go shopping and buy new clothes with Duncan's father's credit card. As they encounter many obstacles throughout the night, both their fathers search for them through the city, resulting in their arrest for a traffic violation when a traffic cop fails to recognize the President. Duncan and Hallie both manage to return home safely, but are unhappy as they realize after their first kiss how much they like each other.
